Our Children’s Book of the Month is This Is Our World- Welcome Home! [9781035019120] by Valerie Wilding, illustrated by Asa Gilland.
This Is Our World – Welcome Home! is a vibrant and colourful celebration of our planet’s diversity – an unforgettable journey that invites young readers into 20 different homes around the world. Our guides are children who tell us about their unique homes and surrounding environments.
The tour is truly global, as we visit a terraced house in the UK to a houseboat in the
Netherlands, from an apartment in Tokyo to a cave house in Tunisia. This is both a beautiful gift book and a highly-accessible home reference, sure to foster an interest in the wider world, in travel, in diversity, and in cultures and religions.
